	Peter Lindbergh: Stories Lindbergh's approach to photography is decidedly filmic. He is a consummate storyteller, working much like a director on the set of a movie. Stories reproduces both his finished printed campaigns for such magazines as Vogue Italia and L'Uomo Vogue as well as the scouting work and out takes that led to the well-crafted final spreads; a journey into complex working methods.

	Robert Polidori: Havana Polidori, who is known primarily for his architectural photography, reveals his formidable ability as a chronicler of habitat. His photographs of the buildings of old Havana go beyond surface; his primary interest is in the evidence of life left behind by prior occupants. He can appropriately be compared to either Thomas Struth or Gabriele Basilico, but with more soul; a comparison that justifiably rests on this beautiful body of work. This title is in its third printing. Cat# PK674H Hardbound $75.00 Online Price $67.50 - Save 10% Order Now!

Tillman Crane: Structure
Working within the rich vein of carefully seen and technically perfect black-and-white, large-format photography, Crane continues to mine sumptuous, evocative images that act as windows to another era. Stopping short of the clichés seen in much of this genre, his work is gentle and speaks of a forgotten quality—quietude.
